An American who said he defected from the Islamic State has admitted he "wasn’t thinking straight" when he decided to go to the Middle East and join the militant group earlier this year.

"I made a bad decision to go with [a] girl and go to Mosul. ... I wasn’t thinking straight," Mohamad Jamal Khweis told an interviewer in Iraqi Kurdistan.

The 26-year-old surrendered to Kurdish peshmerga fighters near the northern Iraqi city of Sinjar and has been held by them since Monday.

Khweis, who was born in the United States and grew up in a Virginia suburb of Washington, was interviewed by Kurdistan24 television station in Irbil, a Kurdish city in northern Iraq.


I would call this a "duh" moment

1. well, the sentence for John Walker Lindh was 20 years

and Lindh was "only" with the Taliban. I'm sure Khweis can expect something similar from American Justice. He needs to offer cooperation in exchange for leniency.

This genius is going to get crucified on Fox News.
